• Notes

  Johannes was the oldest of Henry Simon and Maria Catherina Justen's thirteen children. Godparents at his baptism were Joanne Simon, Adolescente (mature young man) of Erden & Anna Gertrude Rodt, Virgine (maiden) of Loesenich. Johannes was married in Erden according to his son Henry's birth record. He and wife Katherina Roth immigrated in 1850 with the Simon family, and with their two young children, Susan age 1 and 1/2 years, and Henry, age 3 months. Johannes was naturalized with his father and brothers Mathias and Henry on November 29, 1850 in Spencer County, Indiana. John's occupation was a farmer according to the 1870 Spencer County census. He and Katherina had seven children; three died in infancy and are buried in St. Boniface Cemetery in Fulda. John Simon died in 1877 at the age of 67, and is buried in St. Boniface Cemetery, Fulda, Indiana, A-11-13. Of the 4 surviving children, little is known of Susan, the oldest. Sons Henry and John settled in Sedgwick County, Kansas in the late 1870's. Anne married and moved to Sedgwick County, Kansas between 1882 and 1884. John's widow, Katherina Simon is listed on the 1880 Spencer County census living in the home of her married daughter, Annie Simon Landwehr. Katherina is not buried in St. Boniface, Fulda; one might presume she moved to Kansas with daughter Annie and her family between 1882-84. Katherina Roth Simon died in February, 1895, at the age of 76.
